results. The result of our work with cane
in Kansas was far beyond expectations,
though We labored under many difficulties.
Experts who examined our cane before ii
was shipped said that its yield would be
only about ninety pounds per ton, yet we
got about 140 pounds. -four experiments in
Louisiana prove as successful as we hope,
the planters will then be enabled to COM
pete successfully with beet-sugar interests

United Ireland, disclosing the extent of
the system Of terrorizing. He said the
latest official return showed that S36 per-
sons were boycotted under orders from the
league. In many districts the tenants
right became valueless because no selling
of his right was possible unless sanctioned
by the league. No tyranny, however cruel,
could compare with anarchy resulting
from the existence of league tribunals.
Coming 70 the proposals bill, ne stated
that the Government borrowed pro-
vision from the Scoich system giving the
magistrates power to examine wit
nesses on cath, even when no
persons were charged with crime. To
meet the difficulty of getting verdicts they
proposed to abolish the jury system alto
gether Tcheers and counter cheersl for GER
tain Gases of crime, giving the magistrate
Jurisdiction, with power to impose the
maximum penalty of six months impris-
onment in cases Of criminal conspiracy,
bOycotting and rioting.
The Government did not propose to in
terfere with the liberties of the press, but
they hoped by giving magistrates the
power of summary conviction for certain
offerses, they would be able to prevent the
press from sharing in the crimes. The bill
also gives the Government power to
change the venue OF trial for graver
offenses. Tie Government felt difficulty
connected Win the dDOllLlOn OF Lrld Oy
jury in Ireland, therefore il proposed that
The Attorneys-Generalo of England and Ire
land. in cases OF grave crimes, should GER
tify when a fairer trial could be had in
England 'cheers when, under the same
conditions as in case Of a change
of venue in Ireland, the trial
should be held in England (cries from
What part England?") Irish Counsel, he
added, were TO be allowed to appear in En-
glish courts (Parnellite laughter,) and the
State would provide the necessary funds for
the commencement of both witness and
lawyers. Purely political offenses such as
treason, felony and seditious libel were ex-
cluded from the provisions of the bill. The
crimes triable in England were murder,
attempted murder, aggravated crimes of
violence and arson. In all cases the
bill applied only to proclaimed districts.
The Viceroy would have further powers
to proclaim dangerous societies found
disturbing peace and order. A proclama-
tion directed against the society would be
submitted to Parliament within
seven days after issuance, and
if Parliament condemned it the
proclamation would be dropped,
The Government proposed that the per-
manency bill should not be limited to q
fixed time. [Cheers.
He concluded by declaring it in the
cause Of liberty that the Government asked
the House to break the yoke under which
Ireland was groaning.

and Justice of their cause Removed from
that is false and criminal, there will con-
verge into legitimate, peaceable, beneti-
cient struggle: that which by repulsive
severity might become for the masses of
our people a volcanic abyss similar to that
which society fears and which the church
deplores in Europe.
The cardinal insists strongly anc at
length on this point. He then refers 70
the aspect of our country; that OF popu-
lar power regulated by love OF order, re-
spect for religion, obedience TO the laws;
not a democracy of license and violence,
but a true democracy seeking general
prosperity by the ways of sound prin-
ciples and good social order. Religion
is necessary to preserve so desirable state
of affairs. Among the church glorious
titles none gives her such influence as that
of the Friend of the People IN our DEM
ocratic Nation. That is the title which
gains COR the Catholic Church
not alone the devotions Of
millions Of her children, but the
respect and admiration OF all OF our citi-
zens whatever their religious beliefs. He
recognized that the great question OF the
future is not a question o. war, COM
meIce or finance, but a social
question touching the amelioration
of the condition of the popular
masses, especially workisgmen. Therefore
il is of sovereign importance that the church
be found always firmly ranged on the side
of humanity and justice toward the multi
tudes composing the body OF the human
family. The conditions OF the lower
classes at present can not and should not
continue.

During the storm OF the 25th, the cock
pit was on several occasions filed with
water, and altogether it was perilous time
for the yacht. On the oath the sea was
terribly rough and the boat rolled so badly
that the water tank burst. The seamen
were consequently put On the smallest al
lowance OF water, but later on they were
plentifully supplied with ale and claret,
and ultimately with champagne instead OF
water. All on board arrived in the best OF
health.
The officers of the Coronet and other
yachtsmen are greatly pleased with the re-
suit of the race and say it has served TO
show admirable qualities in both yachts.
Considering the difference in the tonnage
and the length of the two yachts, and the
extraordinarily heavy weather which pre-
vailed during the voyage, the Dauntless is
thought to have done as well as her com
petitor. The officers and friends of both
yachts will be entertained by the members
of the Royal Cork Yacht Club.

Railway and Canal rransportat,on.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The Navy De-
partment Is still prosecuting the inquir-
les begun some time ago relative to the
ability of the railways and canals of the
country 10 transport boats and naval ma
terial from the sea to inland waters. 1t
has been learned that the facilities of the
existing railroads are limited to the ability
to transport boats of an extreme length OF
110 feet, while the Erie Canal will permit
the passage from the Atlantic Ocean to the
lakes of torpedo boats 100 feet in length.
AS the torpedo craft is necessary for the
defense of the lake ports, and are not re-
quired to be as seaworthy and as large as
those intended for the protection of the
seacoast, 1t is believed that the existing
facilities are ample. The fact that these
inquiries by the department were begun
more than a year ago is regarded by naval
officers as a sufficient answer to any influ-
ence that might be drawn to the effect that
they indicate preparations for struggle
growing out of the fisheries dispute.

Fifty years of every Frightening science,
Fifty years of ever widening empire,

And the Eight Is victor
And the darkness dawns into the jubilee OF the
auce
